Description of problem: This is specific to HP C Class blade systems. As soon as we create and enable a SAN fabric zone using 2 blades servers within the same HP blade chasis to tape drivers, we get - kernel: st 2:0:1:0: reservation conflict Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux Serverxxxx 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 16:51:01 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Hardware/OS used: HP BL685c G7s in a HP flexfabric C7000 chassis on RH5U8 (OS). San switch - Brocade 5300 ( 8GB) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Zone a blade server in the HP blade chasis to a tape drive. 2. Zone a second blade server in the same HP blade chasis to the tape drive. 3. As soon as zone is enabled, we start seeing scsi reservation conflicts messages in the /var/log/messages file. This continues till the 2nd blade server is removed from the zoning. Every 20 minutes , we see the following messages in the messages file.
